Color Experiment: [2].

I am persevering with 'computer-color', and although the following example is more trial-and-error more than anything else, it's a step in the right direction, nevertheless.


'Soft-Focus ' stuff that has altered the look of my drawings already:






---can't wait to try out some more stuff!

    I'm just using the free colouring program GIMP, John.....it is quite complicated, but I have made a start.

    Thanks for your encouragement...you've obviously got the hang of this digital colouring lark!

THE FLY: A Walk on the Weird Side

Image
HERE WE SEE  my first all-new FLY entry of this year 2016: so, why has it all gone so quiet on the FLY front, then? -----Bsically, the FLY is my fave-rave personal cartoon concept in purely visual terms: BOOMER is undoubtedly my most commercial proposition, but this insect-science fiction theme has real potential for some truly absurdist and striking imagery, as can be seen below. HOWEVER! Although I have every faith in the visual impact of this enterprize, there is that little matter of   COPYRIGHT regarding the FLY-MAN Andre in particular: just too literally close to the unfortunate central character seen in the 1958 film, owned in perpetuity by 20th Century Fox. '......... Ah, but you use a clear copy-clone of KING KONG in BABY BOOMER.'  -----------  I hear you counter. Yes, this is true, my KOONG KING variant of the famous film ape is merely my own interpretation of the RKO/UNIVERSAL PICTURES-owned movie monster, but that is no real problem as he is merely an occ...

IPC REDUX

THIS ITEM was a one-off, fairly elaborate Christmas-themed item in which the criteria was to recreate the ambience of the late 1960s/ very early 70s humour comics put out by IPC/ Fleetway---you know the sort of thing if you are into this stuff: Whizzer and Chips, Cor!!, and many more. ---in other words.

Characterization Part 3

More personality- based imagery which I am veering towards moreso these days........this sort of stuff is a lot easier than having to come up with strong single gag images every single attempt....I will try and do a bit of both: gag-orientated as well as this personality based cartoon material. The two characters seen here of course are the two main suporting players from my B BOOMER concept......the ever-present statue of Liberty aka Libby and evergreen King Kong variant KOONG KING. This image is only slightly rude.... I have deliberately avoided real lechery and K K looks fairly bemused and innocent when confronted with the Statue's hithero unseen underapparrel. I still believe that personality based imagery like this can be just as effective and amusing than gag and idea orientated material. See my usual ploy of adding in miniscule characters to assist the sense of scale I desired. Robbo UPDATE, JUNE 4, 2016: new upgraded scan of cartoon added
